Blood bank to hold bloodmobile drive in Fallbrook

FALLBROOK – The San Diego Blood Bank will accept blood donations at Albertsons on Monday, Feb. 27, from 1 to 6 p.m. The drive will be held in the parking lot at 1133 S. Mission Rd.

About one in seven people entering a hospital need blood. One pint of blood, which is the amount volunteers give when they donate blood, can save up to three lives.

Approximately, 38 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood but less than 10 percent do annually. Since blood is always needed, volunteers are asked to give blood for patients, such as those going through cancer or trauma.
